2/9/19 “The FIRE of YOUR CALLING”
Has your fire waned, and grown cold during the night watch? Through the daily battles of this life has the flame turned to embers in your heart?
My beloved I call you to fan into flame that which I set within you, a flame of such intensity that all can feel its heat and know for whom it burns.
I was led to a large range fireplace; it was black in colour and had a metal chimney stack. The doors were black with soot, yet there was little heat emanating from the fire in the grate. I stood before it and watched as Holy Spirit blew upon the coals and light flames began to dance across the embers and coals, as He continued to blow upon them, the flames began to grow, until there was a ` ROAR ` and flames shot out from the open door of the grate, the heat was so intense I had to move back from it. He closed the door, I began to sense the heat in the room begin to rise.
JESUS would say to you,” I have released the breath of my Spirit upon the fire of your calling, tend it well.”
(NIV) 2 Timothy 1: 6-7
For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
(NIV) Ephesians 4: 1-13
As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. This is why it says:
“When he ascended on high,
he took many captives
and gave gifts to his people.”
3/9/19 Going the Distance Together
Why do you keep trying to go back to that which you vomited from your own mouth, what made you sick before will make you sick again. The foul thing that had a grip of your life and controlled and sought your destruction is not the place for you to be now or ever.
I brought you into freedom, for you my beloved church to walk forward, without looking back or even returning to the pile of vomit which caused you so much pain and hurt in the past season.
Fix your eyes on what is above and not below, seek first the kingdom, and be filled with every good thing, which is being poured out upon you.
I have released the oil of Joy upon your head, I anoint you my sons and daughters to laugh, to bring such joy to this world.
(NIV) Proverbs 26: 11
As a dog returns to its vomit,
so fools repeat their folly.
(NIV) Matthew 6: 33-34
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
(NIV) 2 Corinthians 1: 20-22
For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God. Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
4/9/19 The Direction of Choice
Life, love, joy, peace, beloved, these are all the things that I want you to have.
I have given you choices over your life, choices over the words that you speak, the things that you do, the things that you watch. Even over the feelings and thoughts of the day.
I have placed into your hands what is good and what is right. Choose this day what you will declare and decree over your life. Choose this day to live in my goodness, not in your own thoughts.
Remember that I am goodness incarnate through my son Jesus.
(NIV) Deuteronomy 30: 19-20
Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him.
(NIV) Psalm 65: 4
Blessed are those you choose
and bring near to live in your courts!
We are filled with the good things of your house,
of your holy temple.
5/9/19 The Gift of Family
You are My Sons and Daughters!
The tables are set. I watch as the feast begins, here they come, skipping and dancing, shouting and laughing, filled with freedom and awe. They chatter excitedly with one another, they come holding hands, some playing and jumping over puddles of joy; they come and sit at the dinner table together. No one is different from the other; all are family sitting down together.
When you come before me, come as little children, be ready to listen and do what I ask. Feast upon the bounty that I have laid before you, the tables groan with the weight of the gifts that I Am releasing to you today.
(NIV) Luke 18: 15-17
People were also bringing babies to Jesus for him to place his hands on them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
(NIV) Psalm 23: 5-6
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
(NIV) Hebrews 10: 24-25
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
6/9/19 Spiritual Unity
My family, the time of transition has ran its course.
There have been many mountains around your life that have now been cast into the sea. You are ready, to walk out of the dry and arid places that you have found yourself in. I call you “OUT”, step into the life that is your inheritance, surrounded by my love, my hope, my care.
Live again, no more shadows, no more hiding, no more waiting and no more tears. Walk into my light and watch as I bring transformation by my Spirit, throughout every part of your life. Watch as family unity comes together, where there is separation between husband and wife I will bring peace and love. Where friends have become enemies I will bring resolution, where your children have lost their way I will bring Unity.
(NIV) Philippians 4: 6-8
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
(NIV) 1 John 4: 12-14
No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Saviour of the world.
9/9/19 Walking Together in Your Garden
Is your faith overgrown by your life?
As weeds grow up, and steal the nutrition from the healthy plants and flowers in your garden, so does your daily struggle blind you from my perfect light?
My beloved church, it is time to tend your garden, pull up those weeds, get down to the root and destroy what has been running wild in your life. Cut off what feeds these weeds of despair and oppression. Chop away the jungle of entanglement that steals the light from the very heart of this special place.
Watch each new day, as my early morning dew brings refreshing, see as my light warms your heart and watch your garden slowly begin to grow again. Know that I love you and desire to walk in your garden daily with you.
(NIV) Psalm 107: 13-14
Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he saved them from their distress.
He brought them out of darkness, the utter darkness,
and broke away their chains.
(NIV) Luke 12: 27
“Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labour or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of these.
(NIV) Song of Songs 4: 16
Awake, north wind,
and come, south wind!
Blow on my garden,
that its fragrance may spread everywhere.
Let my beloved come into his garden
and taste its choice fruits.
10/9/19 The Whisper of Transformation
There have been seasons when your heart has ruled your head. My Spirit has come to you and said “Go this way, and yet you have walked the other”.
Now your spiritual ears have opened and once again you are now hearing Me fully.
The path before you is a well worn path, for I have walked it before you. As you continue to hear My still small voice your heart swells with delight, for you know that you know, that you know, it is now My voice that you follow.
The days of the past, when you wandered aimlessly and followed every whim of your heart are at an end.
You are called, anointed and set forth by My word, My voice, My command, My love and everywhere you place your feet, I will give you.
(NIV) 1 Kings 19: 11-13
The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.”
Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.
Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
(NIV) Joshua 1: 3a
Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you
(NIV) Isaiah 30: 21
Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying,
“This is the way, walk in it,”
Whenever you turn to the right hand
Or whenever you turn to the left.
11/9/19 Mantle of the Evangelist
My sons and daughters, you have been going through a season of great trial and change.
You have seen much come against you and have watched the dust of the past begin to wash away and out of your life. There has been a Supernatural quickening and awakening in your Spirit as my healing grace has surrounded you, as we move toward a new season.
I Am preparing my family for a season of Harvest.
You are now ready to take off the robes of the past and put on the Mantle of the Evangelist. Step out into the market places and into the fields that are white, ready for harvest. Do not fear for I go before you.
Go now!
Bring in the Harvest!
(NIV) John 4: 34-36
“My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together.
(NIV) Matthew 9: 37-38
Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
(NIV) 2 Peter 1: 10-11
Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
12/9/19 “Ruach” the “Breath of Life”
Stand tall, stand strong, stand united, stand in rank and file, stand an army created by my hand.
I have poured my living word into your hearts. I have saturated you with my Spirit. I have filled you with fire and power. You bubble over with my excess, pouring out of every part of your being, flowing like a river of living water, to touch those around you, that they will know my love for them.
I have released my breath into you; my Ruach gives life where there is no life.
(NIV) Genesis 2: 7
Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
(NIV) Ezekiel 37: 9-10
Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’” So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army.
(NIV) Hebrews 4: 12-13
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
13/9/19 Dancing in the Light of Rest
You are my children, my beloved, my church, my sons and daughters, you are my family.
Tiredness sucks the very breath out of your being and your walk, it causes you to look inward, where you will find many reasons not to pick up your bible, not to pray, not to sing and dance before the throne of grace. Tiredness steals your joy, your laughter, your peace of mind. It brings conflict between husbands and wives, between pastors and churches, between leaders.
I call you into my rest, allow me to put my loving arms around you and hold you until you are ready to move on into all that I have placed in your hands. Let us laugh through the night hours, let us walk together in the fields of wild flowers, let us sit down and eat together. My peace will be your portion. Daily we will rise together in the light of dawn and we will dance and sing together.
Rest in me my beloved.
(NIV) John 14: 26-27
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
(NIV) Isaiah 32: 17-18
The fruit of that righteousness will be peace;
its effect will be quietness and confidence forever.
My people will live in peaceful dwelling places,
in secure homes,
in undisturbed places of rest.
(NIV) Psalm 59: 16-17
But I will sing of your strength,
in the morning I will sing of your love;
for you are my fortress,
my refuge in times of trouble.
You are my strength, I sing praise to you;
you, God, are my fortress,
my God on whom I can rely.
16/9/19 Open Heart Surgery
Today, Father wants to massage your heart back to life. Many things have come that have crushed and broken your heart.
I watched as Father very gently did open heart surgery on you, reaching in with such tenderness and compassion, to massage your heart to start beating again. You have been so disappointed and your hope has drained away, but this is your day of restoration!
Even now as your heart is healed you will find a desire and awakening to help others out of their places of pain and hurt. You will find as you begin to do for others, what Father has done for you, that rivers of living water, will flow from within you, bringing, life, joy and peace to the hearts of others.
As you have been restored by the hand of God, He wants you to know that He loves you with an everlasting love.
(NIV) 1 Peter 5: 9-11
Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power forever and ever. Amen.
Isaiah 43: 18-19
“Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland.
(NIV) Jeremiah 31: 3-4
The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying:
“I have loved you with an everlasting love;
I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.
I will build you up again,
and you, Virgin Israel, will be rebuilt.
Again you will take up your timbrels
and go out to dance with the joyful.
17/9/19 Engraved upon “My Palms”
My sons and daughters, there has been a sense of things closing in and down around you, as if you are being encircled and hemmed in, there is pressure bearing down on you and as you look up your vision is blurred and dull. The enemy is trying to cloak you and hoodwink you.
Open your eyes and see the Glory of my coming, hear the thunder of millions upon millions of hooves as the army of the Lord rides across the skies, feel the pillars of the earth tremble as I move across this land. Know that each day, each hour, minute and even second of your life is in My Hands.
You are engraved upon my palms. You are mine.
(NIV) Psalm 29: 1-2
Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
worship the Lord in the splendour of his holiness.
(NIV) Isaiah 49: 15-17
“Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
and have no compassion on the child she has borne?
Though she may forget,
I will not forget you!
See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are ever before me.
Your children hasten back,
and those who laid you waste depart from you.
(NIV) Hebrews 12: 1-3
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
18/9/19 Closed eyes
Beloved, today is a day to open your eyes to the possibilities that I have placed before you. Going through life with your natural eyes closed will lead you into all types of hazards. Even more so when you keep your spiritual eyes closed.
The destination I have in mind for you will be so much more enjoyable and delightful for you, if I show you where you are going. The way is not too hard, not too difficult. Even when the way seems tough, I am there to help you through.
Open wide your eyes, naturally and spiritually. See the beauty that I have placed all around you. See, hear and taste of My goodness. That which has been bitter will become sweet, no longer a bad memory but a delight in seeing the way I have led and kept you. See things in a new light, for today is a new day. Open your eyes and awaken to My love.
(NIV) John 4: 34-35
‘My food,’ said Jesus, ‘is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. Don’t you have a saying, “It’s still four months until harvest”? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.
(NIV) Psalm 34: 8
Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
(NIV) Matthew 6: 22-23
‘The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
19/9/19 WHAT IS?
What is my destiny?
What is my ministry?
What is it you (God) want me to do?
So many times these questions are asked of Me. My reply is “Get to know who I am for you. Learn from My ways; learn to follow Me; to know the leading of My Spirit. For those who are led by My Spirit, are My children and I have made them heirs and co-heirs with My Son, Jesus”.
I have good works ready and prepared for you. The more you come and spend time with Me, the more I will open up the way before you. You will absorb My voice and My ways, learning to think and act from My Spirit rather than your own. What is it that makes you feel alive? What do you enjoy doing? Singing, worship, serving, teaching, preaching, administration? I have so many gifts that I have given through My Spirit. What is it that is in your hand? Moses had a staff. Maybe you have cupcakes, tea and a listening ear. Neither is greater than the other, they are just different.
I know you want to hear, “Well done good and faithful servant, but you are more than that. You are My family”.
So what is your destiny, ministry? To know Me, the only true God.
(NIV) Romans 8: 14-17
For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’ The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs – heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
(NIV) John 17: 3
Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
(NIV) Ephesians 2: 8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
20/9/19 Forgive Supernaturally
I keep no record of wrong doing.
You my family have been washed clean and all your sins have been paid for, and you are forgiven.
Why do you therefore keep records of wrongdoing between each other, why do you hold each other captive in sin? You trap yourself in the place of oppression by not releasing the plank from your own eye as you seek to remove the splinter from your neighbour’s eye. Forgive one another as I have forgiven you.
Walk into freedom, your eyes fixed upon me. Release my perfect love upon your neighbour.
(NIV) Luke 6: 41-42
“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
(NIV) 1 Corinthians 13: 4-5
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
(NIV) Luke 6: 36-38
“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
23/9/19 Trust Me for your Nation
(NIV) Jeremiah 29: 11-14
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity.
Do you think I have forgotten you, and ignored your prayers for Great Britain? I have not!
I know the beginning from the end. My purposes will stand, in spite of man’s interventions. This nation will be a place of refuge and comfort for many over the coming years. Even as many nations will undergo persecution in the years ahead, so Great Britain will again become a mother to many. A place of safety and security.
Do not become embroiled in the arguments. Do not allow the divisive spirits to have their way. This nation will stand and My glory will be revealed in the midst of all the turmoil. I know what is best and you will see the fulfilment of its destiny.
Trust Me and keep trusting Me in spite of the many voices raised. I am true and trustworthy.
(NIV) Proverbs 3: 5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
(NIV) Psalm 19: 7-9
The law of the Lord is perfect,
refreshing the soul.
The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
The precepts of the Lord are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the Lord are radiant,
giving light to the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is pure,
enduring forever.
The decrees of the Lord are firm,
and all of them are righteous.
24/9/19 Brick by Brick
I watched, as a young person, stood in the middle of a clearing, at their feet were a few bricks that seemed to be the beginning of a wall.
I watched, as the young person walked through life. Every time they were hurt or disappointed, they came to the clearing and added more bricks to the wall. As time passed, the wall took on the look of a tower. It became harder for this person to get in and out of the structure. Therefore, they built different floors and so the tower grew higher and more complicated. I watched a moat and drawbridge being finalised. The person, now elderly, came one final time and closed up the drawbridge and nothing and no-one could get them out. Life for this one became lonelier and bitterer, as each brick became a reminder of hurt and pain.
Beloved, do not hold onto the wounds and pain of yesterday. Allow forgiveness to flow to those who have hurt you. Give Me all your disappointments, for I will wipe away every tear.
Look and see. Have you started to build your tower? Then let us work together to bring it down. Allow My Spirit to bring healing, comfort and contentment to those areas.
(TPT) Psalm 71: 6-7
It was you who supported me from the day I was born,
loving me, helping me through my life’s journey.
You’ve made me into a miracle;
no wonder I trust you and praise you forever!
Many marvel at my success,
but I know it is all because of you, my mighty protector!
(NIV) Hebrews 3: 12-13
See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called ‘Today’, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.
25/9/19 Upon Wakening
Beloved, upon wakening, what is your first thought? Do you reach for your phone/tablet to see if you have messages? To find out about the news? What is the first thing that crosses your mind?
Beloved, I want to challenge you to awaken and focus your heart and mind on Me. Just those few seconds before your feet hit the floor and the morning routine starts.
If you take just a few seconds to be thankful for all you have, you will find that your focus for the whole day will shift. Life will not seem as hectic or as busy. Your anxiety levels will fall and your heart will be at peace.
Realise I only have your best interests at heart, so take those few seconds to rest yourself in Me.
(NIV) Psalm 143: 8
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I entrust my life.
(NIV) Psalm 63: 6a
On my bed I remember you…..
(NIV) Lamentations 2: 22-24
Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”
26/9/19 Ministries of Kingdom Revelation
My sons and daughters you have been going through a season of stripping away of the things that hinder My plan and purpose for your lives.
It may seem that you have struggled and had keen times of pain, even friendships that you would have thought were for life have came to an end, you have been moved out of churches and organisations that were your home and you were comfortable there.
You have even been moved away to new towns and cities all over the world, for “Such a Time as this”.
I have stripped away all that would hinder you, to come into the fullness of My plan and purpose as I bring fresh revelation of the ministries I have called you to lead.
You My Sons and Daughters have been Named, Chosen and sent out In My NAME.
(NIV) Luke 9: 2-4
He sent them out to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick. He told them: “Take nothing for your journey- no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt. Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town.”
(NIV) Mark 1: 2-4
As it is written in Isaiah the prophet:
“I will send my messenger ahead of you,
who will prepare your way”—
“a voice of one calling in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for him.’”
And so John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
(NIV) 1 Peter 2: 9
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
27/9/19 The Difference of “YOU”
Are you blind to what is happening around you in your villages, towns and cities?
Do you not hear the cries of despair upon your streets and behind the doors of your neighbours? Can you still hear them crying out for rescue? Who shall come and free them? Who shall offer them a hand in their time of need?
“YOU”?
“Yes You”. For you have been called and anointed IN My Name.
I have brought fresh vision to your Spiritual eyes to see deeper and clearer. Let not man be a hindrance to the calling I have placed in you for such a time as this. Rise up My sons and daughters and take your place, shake off the dust of inactivity that the enemy has tried to keep you ensnared in.
Look to Me for I AM with you.
(NIV) Luke 7: 44-50
Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet. Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”
Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
The other guests began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
(NIV) Esther 4: 14b
And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”
30/9/19 Welcome to the Feast
(NIV) Rev. 3: 7b-8
These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.
I watched as a row of open doors stood open, the person passed through one then another, then another, they continued to pass down through the corridor of open doors, until at last they stood before an enormous double door, this one seemed to be closed tight. I watched as the person waited patiently before the door. They were dressed in filthy rags. I heard the words “This far and no farther, not until you are appropriately arrayed”. As I watched a number of people appeared from different areas of the hallway, each came with various implements and clothes in hand, some came to clean and wash away the dirt, while others came to dress the person in new clothes of such amazing splendour. This continued for a while, until at last the person was clean and properly arrayed in wedding attire. Then the voice spoke “Now”. As I watched, a Master of ceremonies appeared holding a highly decorative staff, he approached the closed door, raised his staff and banged loudly three times and with that the doors swung open. There before me, I watched as the person was paraded down the massive throne room, right to the King’s throne. “Welcome, I have waited long for this moment, come take your place at the feast”.
Today you have been invited to the feast and many doors have already opened for you. Now is the time of final preparation, the journey has been long and arduous and has left many in rags. Father is restoring and clothing you afresh that you might make that final entry of celebration into His banquet.
(NIV) Rev. 19: 9
Then the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!” And he added, “These are the true words of God.”
